Salme 28
1 Af David. Herre! til dig vil jeg raabe; min Klippe! vær ikke tavs imod mig, at du ikke holder dig stille imod mig, og jeg bliver lig dem, som fare ned i Graven.
Of David. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hør mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst, naar jeg raaber til dig, naar jeg opløfter mine Hænder til dit hellige Kor.
Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.
3 Bortriv mig ikke med de ugudelige og med dem, som gøre Uret, dem, som tale Fred med deres Næste, enddog der er ondt i deres Hjerte.
Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbors is friendly, while evil is in their heart.
4 Giv dem efter deres Gerning og efter deres Idrætters Ondskab; giv dem efter deres Hænders Gerning, betal dem, hvad de have fortjent.
Give them as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.
5 Thi de agte ikke paa Herrens Værk, ej heller paa hans Hænders Gerning; han skal nedbryde dem og ikke bygge dem op.
They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.
6 Lovet være Herren; thi han har hørt mine ydmyge Begæringers Røst.
Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.
7 Herren er min Styrke og mit Skjold, mit Hjerte har forladt sig paa ham, og jeg er bleven hjulpen; og mit Hjerte fryder sig, og jeg vil takke ham med min Sang.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise him.
8 Herren er deres Styrke, og han er sin Salvedes Værn til Frelse.
The Lord is the strength of his people, the fortress who saves his anointed.
9 Frels dit Folk og velsign din Arv og fød dem og ophøj dem indtil evig Tid.
O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
